VANDERSWORD ( wonder's word)

THE TRUTH- Part IV

"Huh? Why I felt like this now?" She feels the uneasy throbbing of her heart," why I can't feel this way?" She swipe-open the monitor of the wall-tv. She's worrying on something that unexplained. She puts-off the tv and went to the terrace to breathe fresh air. 

 The silent blinking of lights at a distant welcome her. The moon shines so bright that whispering her something. A sudden breeze hug her and an unexplained feelings prevails her sinews. She wrap her sweater very tight. 

 "What's my son doing now?...ahmmm, maybe he's busy now..."she smiled thinking of her son. Her uneasy feelings still continues. The thoughts of her son makes her smile. The only treasure that she had. 

 The attitudes of her son of being a responsible man are the traits of her bereaved husband. She enters the house heading into the kitchen to drink. She feels a sudden lump on her throat. 

Suddenly the telephone rings."This is the Elite Troopers escort madam, a directive from the higher commander urgently inform you to take a visit at the Base Phivolts!" says a man at the other end of the line," in a few minutes, we're at your house..."and the voice fades. 

 Zaphfyl did not expect the call. She's stunned thinking why she is invited." Maybe, a surprise recognition that my son got will be awarded that's why they didn't tell me...hmmm, it's better to prepare. In a few second they will come". She prepares herself but the thoughts never fades on her mind. Why she is invited to come. 

 The escort ship of the Base Phivolts comes. They're heading to the Shoe Island." Commander please, tell me. Why they are inviting me to visit the Base?" She ask the commander of the Elite Troopers escort."What they want from me? " 

 They are tongue-tied not to answer. 

 "Is this all about my son?" She is eager for an answer, " commander, answer me?!.." 

 "Madam sorry, Lourd Macatarungan will explain you all..." The commander replies.

 "W-why? Something happens to my son?" Her eyes begins to show a tear. "My God no!..." She cries. 

 "Madam so sorry, we have nothing to tell...excuse me..." The commander walks away.

 She did not know her feelings right now. Her feet is nailed on the floor. She has a strong admonitions that her son was in a bad conditions."I can't bear it..." She cries. 

 The escort ship enters the entrance of the Base Phivolts that was high-technologically engineered. It was built under the sea. The wide sea between the Shoe Island and Biliran Island opens and a platform rises. The ship enters the highly reinforced door. 

The girl has been slowly escorted. Every step they make was very hard for the girl. Knowing that she can witness the condition of her beloved son. That in her mind, it is lying in bed, cold and dead. The truth that the escorts are having hard time telling her. But to the heart of a mother, she strongly feels it.

 A shouting truth that welcome her. She saw her son lying. She nearly lost her consciousness. Wanting to scream her heart out that the moment is not true. She's been dreaming and a sudden jerk can cause her to wake-up. But the shouting truth, her only son, her loving-good son is dead. She lost her senses. 

 The escort quickly brings the unconscious girl into the bed.The death of Vander spread all over the country. All walks of life come to mourn in the funeral of their hero. 

 Meanwhile, Zirr was very much bothered. His eagerness to know the culprit of his friend's fate intensifies. The face of Dzaba in his mind brings rage to his sinews and shouted for revenge. He remember a thing, looking on a secret state-of-the-art mini-compartment designed by Vander secretly at the computer spy."P-promise me bro...do not leave my mama...at the computer spy bro..." The last words of Vander that came ringing his ears.His hands are eager to discover the culprit of this mess. He slowly open the compartment of the secret mini-computer, a size of an i-pod that has a memory that can restore a multi-million bytes of data. He begins scanning the recorded scenes.All are recorded there. His anger intensifies, and connect the i-pod on the tv- monitor of the Base. 

 Everybody witnessed the scenes. The overriding of the Phivolts program corrupting the Head-Fighter ship's headlight. 

 Meanwhile, Dzaba notice that his works are broadcasted. He is trying to escape. He follows the path into the backdoor of the Base. It is a passageway underwater that leads into a tunnel. He use the scuba gear passing the submerge portion of the way and a door at the far end opens into a rocky shore of the Shoe Island. But before he reaches the end, the door automatically locked that forces him to return. At the surface, the highest Base-guards are pointing their weapons at him. 

 The Critical Mind of the Base Phivolts are now facing his ultimate sentence, to be choke to death inside the Penitentiary Capsule. 

 A silhouette of a man silently observing and thinking of a revenge."My director, critical mind, the man responsible for the acknowledgement of the Philippines to the technological arena around the world are now dying, sentence in a much horrifying death...my Daz is dying helplessly and mercilessly in a capsule of death...time will come that everybody will die kissing my hand of revenge!..."

 Days passed by, Zaphfyl was still grieving on the death of her beloved son. She helps him to go through the harshness ways of the world. She love her son so much that in perpetuity, she will not hug and talk anymore. Her eyes are nailed on the corner of the room where the crystal box is lying in a company of her Chihuahua. 

This are the unique inventions of her son.One of them is the Nanobots. A microscopic robots that sometimes she saw under the microscope."The Nanobots will be injected into the body. It can brings an exact dosage of medicines that was designed to select a tissue or to kill and cure the sickness and destroy the other harmful cells of the body." These were the brief explanations she heard from her son during their conversation. "Ma, this will change the ways administering a drugs. It is programmed and put inside the body connected to an early warning sensors......this can also be a substitute of an x-ray that can detect diseases such as lung cancer and an active cure if a novel-covid19 like decease that will emerge in the future...a biological-weapon that i'm sure will come again. But i have already here convalescent plasma of Dermanyssus gallinae... A much vicious airborne bio-weapon ma?..no match to my Nano, an antibodies booster fighting virus ma. It can also a substitute of an x-ray that tends to detect diseases such as lung cancer...." She cries while reminiscing the memory of her son. This plan will not be materialize because of the fate of her son. Introducing it to helps add the life of a human.

 Meanwhile, Zirr's life becomes miserable because of the incident. The admiration of the people know him turn into pity. He is a vagabond.

"Hey look! Is that the cruiser of the Phivolts?" A man asks  his companion. 

 "Nah, he's not the one...shhh, that's a beggar. He's is not like what you are telling..." Replies the other man.

" That is a cruiser? He is talking to himself? " 

 "That's the result of too much melancholy. He's thinking that because of him, his friend died" 

"Tsk tsk tsk! I am one of his fans idolizing him. But now, I pity him..."

 "Do not call him, he is so rascal...he might harm us shhh!" 

 "Yeah, people knows him come to idolize, but look now,he seems very dangerous talking to him...they're saying that his tantrums are so rude."

 "Heh! That's because they are teasing him...by only mentioning the critical mind's name...shhh!"

 "The Dzaba?! Shhh stop it! Look! Maybe he heard you. He's looking at us!"

The guy passes them, unmindful of their business. Hatred mirrored on his face. 

 "Pards, you know, he turns like that because the news spread that he's the one responsible of his friend's untimely death." 

 Zirr heared the conversation, his heart is squeezing knowing the facts. 

 "Pards, that's not true. We are not there to conclude." 

 "Aba eh, that's what I've heard!"

He did not eat for forty days. He's hallucinating of someone is talking to him, begging him to be in his self again. He saw his own spirit. Telling him the mission he is going to comply.He's heading to his house. A deserted haven that sometimes become his silent witness in success. His eyes are full of vengeance nailed on his unfinished apparatus of High Freq Weapon Scanner.This HFWs is a kind of personal satellite. It is secretly place in the outer space to avoid detection. It can magnify in better resolutions the minute speck of anything. Equipped with ultraviolet camera scanner that can magnify metallic elements and weapons.This can also classify and identify the bearer of the weapon. If it is focus to a place, it can receive signal converted into an image in a highly resolutions. 

 Beside of the apparatus is a book that all the mankind had known. Some used to read it but didn't give even a single second of contemplation. Zirr pick it up. He read the writings. It is written by HW Armstrong. "Word of God-the revealed message and His knowledge for Mankind" he silently reads."I have found it to be a coded book, with answers to the paramount mysteries confronting humankind," he continues reading it." The revelation of this mysteries was lost even to the true church of God. Although the revelations of them has been preserved in the writings of this book," he begins to drown reading the epistle and slowly sit. "Why then the world no clearly understand it? Because it is a coded book? Not intended to be understood until our day? Why it is the most misunderstood book? Even-though it is the most best seller? The full explanation or truth of any one subject is seldom made complete and cleared in anyone passage." He is lying now on the floor reading," other proportion, factors or phrases of the subject are usually contained in one or several passages in other parts of this book either in the old or new testament. A true and full understanding of this subject is profitable only when this perhaps several other passages, scattered throughout this book are put together." He is so marveled on the truth revealed on this writing. "It just like knowing yourself bringing you into a true enlightenment and finally, a total salvation be achieved. Vistas of knowledge and understanding that have remain the chief mysteries of life to most people were opened. It is recorded in this book that in these very days in which our generation lives, the great mystery would be cleared. This book is just like a jigsaw puzzle that thousands of pieces that need putting together, and the pieces will fit together in only one way. Then the picture becomes crystal clear to the ONE WILLING TO BELIEVE what God our creator says.This world's humanity has been blinded to who, what and why man is. How man appeared on earth. Man has been mystified by his inability to solve his problems, or find answers to the perplexing questions of mankind and the world he inhabits."    

The authorities are so much puzzled from what, who, and where the attackers came. Even the terrorists are puzzled and beginning to be afraid of the perpetrator that terrorized them. And because of this, their activities are all intercepted until they are all gone.

A sudden spark on the guy's mind triggered him to contemplate and start to find the truth of what the author is saying. He starts reading and deeply comprehend the bible and other scriptures.

He will do this for now. This time will be the right time to materialize it.

A month passed by, Zirr has not be seen in their place again. Until one day, a news spread that a certain unidentified man in a neo-silver suit taking its havoc on the mind of the authorities.

They found some known terrorists summarily sentenced to death and leave an imprint in the name of JE 8'58-3'14'15.

The authorities are so much puzzled from what, who, and where the attackers came. Even the terrorists are puzzled and beginning to be afraid of the perpetrator that terrorized them. And because of this, their activities are all intercepted until they are all gone.

All of the bad elements of the society are now again on the verge of diminishing since the defunct Phivolts Defender still on the scene. They all know that their life is shortened if they will continue.

This missionary uses a much state-of-the-art weapon. All of their powerful weapons are no match for a man who they did not know and where the attackers came from. Only an imprint in a code was its identification written on its victim's glabella.

Their place suddenly blasted out while they are blinded on where the trigger comes from. Even if they try to hide or run somewhere, IT know wherever they are.

The attacks are very controversial issues of the government's security. Even if the one who put to death are the crooked officers and terrorists in uniforms that some are the protectors of bad elements. To think that it is a big help for the part of the government. But still, some human right groups did not spare to question this behavior to the government. And the officials are so much aware on this, they don't like to be tagged as lame-duck by their constituents.

One night, inside the house of Zirr.

"...bro, in case don't be afraid and hesitate to take a peep on my special comp spy..."

" Hah! Bro takes note, I want you to know. Your friend here is the bravest of them all!"

" Yeah, copied...what so ever."

" Bro, listen here. Just shout if you need a reinforcement. I'll be there for you before a word comes out from that mouth and in a blink of your eyes. Give me the location code, don't forget."

"... And who is this?!"

"...a cruiser of the Phivolts, that fuckin' Bot who destroy our group. He is captured by the guard using this device!.."

" I will not work with the devil!"

" Bastard! The injection, quick!"

" Bro, I'm here...let's go!.."

" Are you the friend of the patient? He's calling you..."

" Bro, Vander. I know you can ..."

"...t-take good care of my mamma..."

"Hush Bro... don't talk to me like that. I...i will not take care of your mom...if...if you can't do that..."

" Zirr...p-promise me...d-don't leave my mamma... " he holds his hand very tight.

" Bro..." Zirr is now crying.

A CCTV was only the sole witness of that moment.

The guy suddenly wake-up on his sleep. " Hahh! Forgive me, please. I am useless of not rescuing you. Forgive me...now, no one can even stop me, this revenge is for you. This I swear to you..."

"FLASH NEWS!...Another big shabu laboratory was found by the authority turned into ashes. They suspected that this was the work of the known mercenary in the code name John Exodus. A foul odor of the chemicals is the sole remnant of the fire that started when a blast that was originated from a can of highly volatile liquid. The source of it is believed to be from a single heat directed to it through a beam of light! An amateur camera that happened to capture the light beam that comes from the atmosphere of a certain degree and height!" a news from a tv announcer broke the morning of Zirr after he opens the set.

" To the citizens of this country, this attacks of an unidentified man or to this John Exodus, we did not allow it to happen again." assurance of the President. He is now giving directives to his Presidential Intelligence to collect data. Trace the source and identify the man behind this John Exodus.

" We condemned this act of unsolicited help for the unlawful killings and attacks to this terrorist and suspected fellows. We have this sole power to do it. These attacks are not allowed by this government and head to abridge the law of this land. No one is above the law, remember that.! To you mercenary, we are after you now and we'll get John Exodus at all cost!"

" Asus, they're now here talking again to boast themselves."

" They want to be the center of the scene. Always the hero, and star of the show."

" Ha ha ha! That's our President, all talking but can do nothing, 'coz they're all nonsense hmmph!"

" That's our government elected officials. They all after of what they can get from our government's treasury in legal form. They are very much concerned to the betterment of the poor in their campaign for this mercenary. But, it's all in their tongue."

" They are aware of what this man will do to them if they act as if they are lame-ducks tightly clinging on their respected posts."

" And now, every one of them has something to say and promise anything to us. Getting this man that was only a product of their imaginations."

" Hmph! All promises remains a promise not until something will happen to relegate them and their good image that they try to boast right from the start. That was during election time."

" Yeah, promises are made to be broken and make a promise again to fix the broken pieces again, remember that. At least now, it needs for somebody to act as mercenary to wake them up and trace this puzzling code JE 8'58'-3'14'15."

" Some wise men already decode this clue...this brings them to return to the basic...that was written in the scripture."

" They hesitate to browse it there. Why?"

" It is very obvious, right? They will know what they're doing to us."

" Ha ha ha!"

" This is not a joke to laugh at. It is a lesson that all of us, citizens of this nation will think many times. Forget about their promises and wealth that they all boasting. All we need is a patriotic deed now."

" The what they can do for us in action without waiting for any recognition. These were waiting for them to see. Like this John Exodus are doing."

Zirr happened to pass and heard the conversations of the bystanders watching Tv. He shows a smirked face.

One day.

"You?!" the only word uttered by Zaphfyl when she saw the guy.

" Ma'am I..." he did not finish his words and the door hardly slam on him.

His nose was hit by the shutting door.

" You have that face to see me! After what you've done!.."

"Madam, I am very sorry for what happened..."

"Go away! I don't want to see you anymore and forever! Do you hear me!"

" Ma'am, please... My apology."

The girl suddenly opens the door.

" Ma'am, I'm begging you now, with all my soul. Please...please forgive me..!" he looks straight to the eyes of the angry woman. " If this is what you want, I'll kneel here." he acts to sit, a dog bites him behind.

" Awr!" and bite the guy.

The dog run after him as he quickly leaves the place. The girl was left behind smiling. But, on the part of her mind is the pity thought on the friend of her son.

If Vander was alive now, he didn't want her to act like this.

Meanwhile, in the place where Zirr and the chihuahua are. The guy kept on running to avoid not to be bitten again.

" Hah hah hah! This is too much for me. She did not forgive me after all these days..."

The dog still comes running, and suddenly he stops. " Will you not stop! Here, just keep quiet inside this sack hah!" he saw a sack beside the trash can and he uses it to contain the animal.

The dog wanted to get free, and afterward, it stopped.

" I will not stop and withdraw... I'll gonna tame you Zaphfyl. I swear, and I will make you love me!.." he paused for a while because of what he said. He then takes a peep to the dog inside.

He feels pity. " Sorry, pippy ha... I did not do it purposely. I'm not that too cruel to animals, you know that? Hoping that you'll understand me. Coz you are the pet of my ahem, my love... So now, I will set you free." he hugs it. " This is what I am ha, an animal lover. I will have to love you because you are the pet of my love to be...sorry please."

" Awr!" the dog suddenly barks and wanted to get loose. And because of this, the guy pushes the teleportation button of the watch.

" Huh! What is this place? It is so dark in here? Where Am I?"

The guy tries to look for the light button of the watch. A pair of opaque light caught his eyes. He then quickly holds it.

A bite struck him," Awr!"

" Ouch! Damn this animal! Pippy, you're so cruel to me...you can't see? " he finally found the button for the flashlight feature of the Bt watch. "Oh, okay now, I can see. I'm in the..."

"Boss!. Hellow..."

A voice from behind suddenly conquered the silence of the place. The place was so contained that makes the voice big.

" Oh, my bossing, my apology for that recent attitude ha?"

Zirr was shocked and hesitate to look back where the sound came from. His ears beginning to stand tall and the hairs now standing one by one.

" Please don't... I'm begging..."

" What a?!.." his eyes are wide open now because of what he felt.

" I...I was the one." says by the dog, smiling.

"Did I saw it right? Are you really the one I've heard talking to me?" he acts to faint.

The dog slaps him to wake up.

" No please, don't tease me like that. I- I- I- I am s-scared you know? I'm gonna get out from here please...where's the door of this..." he is so scared that he's trying to look at the door of the Headfighter.

" No, no. Wait...wait! Don't panic Bro! It's me! Vander! See?.. I thought that you're a very brave cruiser? And never want to leave me no matter what it takes..." 

 Even he is so scared, tried his best to know who's talking. Finally, he saw the apparition of Vander, smiling at him."V-Vander ...bro?.. Is that you? 

 "Right, I am." 

 "A-are you sure?!" 

 "Do I am not so sure? Or are you such a coward!" 

 "It's you bro! Yeah, it's you I see! You have done scaring me hah!?" 

 "Hmm, did I?"

 " No no no! I'm not scared really, I'm not..." 

 "Hmmp! If I did not know and saw your reaction...it's like you're gonna pee in your jeans. See, you have that pale- melon face?!" 

 "Aba! That's not true! I'm just, not ready to see you like that...you did not told me first eh..." 

 The apparition suddenly enters the dog. The animal acted as human. Stands and talk." Bro, until now you didn't even change. You've still that airy feelings on your self. You know, I hate that attitudes.. Hmmp! And I want you to know that I didn't want you to call my mama a L....e." 

 " Bro, just take it easy...this is my nature you know...I'm just making myself to be strong.. " 

"Strong? No, no. I do not like your style now... You would like to be my mother's hmmm? Do you think that I did not hear what you've said? I heard that crispy-clear and loud."

 "Ah, I thought that you did not heard that bro!.." 

 "Haaay,I've heard that very well..." The dog faces at his back. Mirrored in him the face of a sad man. 

 "But Vander bro, I am not talking nonsense here, I'm just loving...err!" He quickly cover his mouth. He didn't meant to say it.

 "Aba! Did I've heard that? You're in-love with my...oh no?!"the eyes of the dog stare at him wide-open.

 " Bro, that's true! Hoping that you'll not get mad of me?... " 

 "Hmmm getting mad? I can think that over," says the dog. Acting like it is in a deep thinking."Did you remember, you've said that I'll be the one to take care of your mama? So, this is it bro! I'm just doing it! "I want you to know bro that it took me too long visiting here because of...I'm in a wake, it is the cause of your untimely death...your mama still angry with me...didn't you know that she's trying to kill me? Using that...that dog that you are using now?! That's why I'm here, running away from you?..from that dog?... 

 The dog begins to cry, he's been carried away by the sad story. 

 "Bro, you know, I was so down because of your loose?..My heart aches and my mind is full of vengeance seeing you tortured." 

 The animal faces the guy, crying. 

 "And mind you bro, I...I love your mama...and I love her so much ever since."he covers his face emoting. 

 "Try... Just try loving my mama...and I'll...I will be your enemy!" Whispers the dog to himself and suddenly bite the guy.Zirr cries out loud because of pain.

 Meanwhile, a shadow of a man an woman enters the chamber. They did not notice the commotion inside the ship. 

 "Now, finally the memories of the people towards this scrap bot, their defender, will be heard no more..." Whispers the girl. " that is why I need your expertise and help me bring this scrap out of my way...It will be useful as a foundation of my proposed creation. Our soon to be hero, the Dzaba Destroyer!" A sharp laughing- scream of a woman inside the chamber dominates. 

 "Just leave it to my expertise. This is just a piece of junk metal. We will bring that safe and sound legally."What will be the use of my position being the highest officer of this government if I can't do that!" 

 The girl smiles.

"Besides, I'm going to do now is not only for me but also and above all to my constituents, I pledge them to obey and serve. Like now, of bringing them this another invention that can help my country. The magnificent Dzaba Destroyer will likely to bring recognition. If and only if, you'll have a corresponding price for me!" 

 "That's why you are the one I need. You are their excellency, and only understands my grievance. My sadness in this life! You are the only one knows my feelings towards them! Why I need to do this! You know all about my father, right?" 

 "Hmm, that's right! That's right! And through this, my promise will be accomplish. So, we are not to waste time anymore coz every second counts! We must do what we are going to do now. So that the last laugh will be ours! And because of this, don't forget my money hmm?" 

 Zirr and Vander inside the Head Fighter Ship notice that the intruders are heading.The dog secretly stepped on the button. It was the button activating the secret protective shield of the ship. This protects to unharmed the ship from outside force or any weapon used blasting it off.This features was hidden to Zirr.  Vander was the only one knows this. 

The guy quickly hold the dog and activate the teleportation.At the house of Zaphfyl exactly in the main bedroom, the two pops-out. Meanwhile, the girl was changing her clothes to sleep, she was dumb-tucked."Ay! Kabayong bakla!" She's stunned when the two comes out. "You!? Bastard! Get out! Why did you enter here! Maniacs!" She rapidly slaps the guy. 

 "Ouch! Aray! Araguy! Aguy! Agi! Please stop it madam!" 

 The dog feels pity and he quickly bite the towel the girl uses covering here lower body. It uncovers the girl. Zirr saw this and he can't help not to look. His eyes opens wide seeing the hidden beauty.The dog notice it and quickly as he could jumps on the guy. 

Unknowingly, the button of the teleport watch was unintentionally activated the programmed coordinates. Suddenly they disappeared. 

 Meanwhile, the intruders successfully bring out the Head Fighter Ship and the other two ships into a hidden laboratory through the teleportation watch. That watch whom Ixiah and Sharlot returned. 

 "This is the beginning of my plans to avenge the death of my Daz! The Dzaba Destroyer be made and you, MicroSaturo will be my assistant!" MicroSaturo is the predecessor of the President. He killed it and undergone a surgery mimicking the feature of the Chief-executive.   

  "Look Hada, it's so bad! We can not destroy that ship! No weapon can damage that!" 

 "Hmm if that's true, never mind using that ugly ship! Let's sell that in the junk or auction that in the antique shop!" Says Hada. 

 Hada is the only daughter of Dzaba. In her younger years, she idolized her father so much, that convinced her to master in Science and Technology.The time when her father was sentence to death, instilled in her mind the bone-deep urge for revenge. A revenge that the cruisers must pay with their lives. 

 "Bro, get that feet of yours! It stinks! Your so kill-joy! Why did you cover my face? I miss to see the beauty of your...hmm", says Zirr. 

The dog seating still on his face. They are now in the guy's room.
